- In some box section cantilevered booms, the assumption of simply supported edges for the compression plate is too conservative. A method is provided here for readily determining, from section dimensions, when better edge restraint conditions are present. Equations are provided for calculating edge restraint factors and for increasing the effective compression plate width when appropriate.
